Chapter 5
Buffy went to Angel and Faith. She was in tears, said that Spike had murdered her mother. The slayer and the vampire with a soul agreed to help Buffy find and kill Spike. Faith brought a water bottle with her and drank numerous times. She offered it to Buffy more than once, each time Buffy refused. When Angel said he was thirsty Faith warned him, this was holy water. This was Faith's way of protecting herself, if any vampire tried to drink from her they would regret it. Angel hadn't realized this, but Faith realized something was off. Buffy was a vampire. Angel was heartbroken, Spike would pay for this. Spike then came, ready to back up his own slayer. Angel fought Buffy, he knew she wouldn't have wanted to be a vampire before. Spike fough Faith, he had now killed three slayers in one century, which was probably the record. If he could make it four, he'd be a legend. But Angel found himself unable to kill his beloved Buffy, even like this. He and Faith switched opponents. Angel and Spike wanted to kill each other anyway. Faith had sometimes wondered what it might be like to fight another slayer, she had dreaded this, now it was inevitable. These fights were brutal. When it was finally decided Spike drove the stake through Angel's heart and watched his grandsire crumble into dust. He saw the slayer's brawl, Faith was winning, about to dust Buffy. Spike knocked Faith out from behind. They couldn't kill her without another slayer rising, and Faith's blood was probably poisonous to them. Buffy and Spike tied Faith up and brought her back to the mayor.
